Literate data analysis with Stata and Markdown
Abstract. In this article, I introduce markstat, a command for combining Stata
code and output with comments and annotations written in Markdown into a
beautiful webpage or PDF file, thus encouraging literate programming and
reproducible research. The command tangles the input separating Stata and
Markdown code, runs the Stata code, relies on Pandoc to process the Markdown
code, and then weaves the outputs into a single file. HTML documents may
include inline and display math using MathJax. Generating PDF output requires
access to LaTeX and a style file from Stata but works with the same input file.
